Here is the error which I get when i try a code with line require  
net/https  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/https.rb:102:in `require’: no such file to  
load – openssl (LoadError)  
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/https.rb:102

I see that ruby-openssl bindings are not installed…  
I have openssl-0.98d installed.

Steps i tried with no success…  
I copies the include folder from /usr/local/ssl and copied into  
rubysource folder/ext/openssl

and tried doing a  
ruby extconf.rb

but I still get this new error.

checking for OpenSSL\_add\_all\_digests() in -lcrypto… no  
checking for OpenSSL\_add\_all\_digests() in -llibeay32… no

help me please, this issue is on a godaddy virtual dedicated server…

how do i get a ruby app running which uses net/https??
